We took the local train north to the town of Tigre, on the river delta, a popular spot to spend a Sunday. We browsed the craft market stalls, walked past the rides (ferris wheel, roller coaster and pirate ship), past the many rowing clubs, and found the place to catch the boats. People who have cottages on the delta islands take these wooden boats to get back and forth. We enjoyed the ride up the river, past resorts and small and large cottages, most on stilts. We got off at Tres Bocas, and followed a path to a patio restaurant on a side channel of the river. From there we watched the passing parade of walkers and their dogs on the path, and in the river: rowing skulls, jet boats, kayaks, and other various boats going by.
